WWOOF organizations and WWOOF hosts cannot help you obtain a visa, sponsor travel, or provide immigration documents.
If traveling internationally, it is your responsibility to determine the correct visa for your trip and ensure your plans comply with the laws of the country you plan to visit. Immigration and labor laws vary widely, and most countries have strict rules regarding WWOOFing, volunteering, working, or participating in exchange programs.
WWOOFers should not ask hosts for help with understanding visa requirements, providing visa documents, sponsorship, or other immigration paperwork. Hosts are not immigration experts, and relying on their advice could result in incorrect information that may lead to problems at the border, including being denied entry.
Requesting visa assistance from a host may also result in your membership being suspended, with or without a refund, depending on the national organisation's policy.
To avoid problems, confirm your visa status before joining WWOOF. For accurate and up-to-date information, please consult the government immigration websites of the country you intend to visit.*
Failure to comply with applicable laws, including but not limited to immigration law, can have serious consequences, including being denied entry or facing travel restrictions in the future.
WWOOF is not responsible for any problems you may experience with immigration and/or your decisions made during travel.
